Preschool Temperament and Environmental Factors Related to the Five-Factor Model of Personality in Middle Childhood.

Hagekull, Berit; Bohlin, Gunilla

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v44 n2 p194-215 Apr 1998

A prospective study investigated associations between preschool temperament and environmental factors and school-age personality in 93 Swedish children. Found that personality was predicted by early temperament and environmental factors such as external day care and negative life events. Extraversion was most clearly related to temperament. Environmental factors were most important for development of neuroticism. (Author)
